Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 03/07
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 03/07
Crews out last night and this morning making the trails around Marenisco smooth again. It’s a bit of a struggle with the new heavy wet snow but we had nice freezing temps last night so everything should have set up nicely. Trails 1S from Fishtales to Presque Isle and Trails 100 and 13S to trail 2 are in very good condition. We are starting to see the effects of the sun and melting snow in open and wet areas but it’s still pretty minor. Get out and ride if you can, getting short in the season!!

Your Tuesday morning trail update. 4 to 5" of wet snow fell yesterday which made for great trail packing snow. Starting to sound like a broken record.. Our trail system is in good to very good condition!! Had an individual stop me and compliment how nice 13n has been, he even showed me video. That makes us feel great. Good job Steve. Trails covered 102, 1n 13n, 8w and 8e and 13s are being groomed as I type this. Enjoy and have a wonderful Tuesday Gogebic out!!

WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED evening- 12/29/25 due to power outages and clearing snow we were not able to get groomers out today. But with the help from some we did get some of the down fall cleared so it will be easier from groomers to get through. We will be getting out tomorrow morning and continue clearing and grooming and if all goes well should be able to get on a regular daily grooming schedule. Will give updates as we go. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos

PAULDING - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Running Bear Resort >> What a storm!! 13 inches of snow overnight and still snowing! Some of you know this but for those of you that don't, I am a weather Observer for National Weather Service of Marquette MI . I have been doing this since 2013. So every day I make the trip down to my weather station and give them the readings for precipitation and temp. In the winter it's pretty exciting. At the end of the fence in the picture is where I walk down to my weather station and you can see how high the snow is on the fence, well around the corner the snow was even deeper, over my waist! It's a wake up for sure! The things I do 🙂 #westernup #snowphotosWhat a storm!! 13 inches of snow overnight and still snowing!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report
The predicted snowstorm did not disappoint! Higher elevations away from Lake Superior received over a foot of fresh snow, while the lakeshore areas picked up 4–6 inches of wet, heavy, packable snow.
With snowfall totals like this, it will take a couple of days for groomers to fully flatten and set up the trails. Strong winds—gusting up to 60 mph—have created deep drifts in spots, especially in open areas.
If you’re planning to ride in the next day or two, please use caution. Groomers will be doing their best to get on top of everything, but with this much snow and wind, it will take a little time to dial the trails in.
That said, the New Year is kicking off with a great start for snowmobiling in the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area.
Happy trails and ride safe! 🛷❄️ #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosOntonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report
